Ron Rivera's Status


L-TownCat

Recommended Posts

I'd say definitely re-sign Rivera, but not enough where he thinks he's safe in his job, and can go back to being stoic, no-testicle Ron. Maybe 3 years/12.x million, giving him slightly over 4m a year.

 

BUT, I would fire the poo out of Shula the day the season ended.

I think he definitely deserves an extension. Maybe another two or three years on top of what he already has left. Unfortunately I think it is inevitable that Shula is here next year no matter what. The way the offense has played suits RR especially with their ability to keep drives going, in turn keeping the other teams offense off the field and our defense fresh. It's frustrating as hell sometimes but I don't think we are as bad on offense as it seems.

I see that this has been interpreted as some weird I don't like Rivera soapbox. My thread, this thread, is about his inevitable contract extension and a call to those who said playoffs or bust to come back and tell what they are now willing to give the man who has given us the playoffs.

 

I just believe that this subject will be more interesting after the post season...

He's making about 2.8 million a year right now... I'd go 3 years, 10.5 million or so. This gives him a solid raise and 2 more years to prove himself, and if the Panthers consistently perform then it's also a short window to negotiate a bigger-money, longer-term extension.

 

Exactly,that is about the way I look at Ron Rivera's contract situation.

Chico...Riverboat Ron.....RR.....great job...I know not many can say they weren't calling for his head going into week 3 this year.....Final the Def he created has really come into their own....My brother and I got the chance to chat with RR last year in Kansas City after his team/staff meetings...talked with us about some college football games....great guy and finally getting to be a good coach........KEEP POUNDING!!!!!

    • We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft.   Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce). Crazy
    • similar to Atlanta and the NHL.  Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer).  Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer.  Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years.  They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.
    • So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games.     He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.
